Lyco Pibex were small, non-sentient creatures, approximately a meter in height.

Lyco Pibex were found throughout the galaxy. They were kept as domesticated pets by interstellar spacers. At some stage, two Lyco Pibex brought to Mos Eisley on Tatooine escaped, and were able to form a colony. Their tendency to consume the metal alloys that the local Jawa scavengers often hoped to salvage brought them into direct conflict with the natives. As the decades wore on, the Jawas grew increasingly irritated with the Mos Eisley Lyco Pibex colony, and would even resort to firing their ion blasters at the creatures to scare them away.[1]
